With luck I'll have photos in a day or two. In all honesty, I'd like to make four. A couple for here, a couple for up north for me and my guests. It doesn't sound like much in discussion, but I'm sure it'll be far more work to build one than I anticipate. I'll probably complete one and swear to...

Thank you, I'm looking forward to doing this. I have a couple of ideas to test, that might make it easier. Hopefully I dont get hung up with something else this weekend, like fishing or shooting.

The line is already forming at the shed door. :D;)

Are the bottom planks salvageable? I can't tell if there's rot along the chine. You did a nice job on the interior. (y)

Pretty sure I've lost my mind. An order from US Composites just arrived, rolls of cloth, chopped strand mat, 10 gallons of polyester resin, mold release wax, pigment and other odds and ends. I always told myself I'd try making all glass boats using one of mine as a plug, but was afraid I'd just...

Finding enough drop and pitch is a challenge for me as well. I learned to shoot as a child, with what were at the time "field stocks" which were typically 1-1/2-2 1/2. The move over the last 25 years has been toward parallel combs, or "field stocks" with dimensions like 1-1/4" at the comb. I...

This crap with stolen plates is everywhere. One of my office vehicles was rear ended and totaled the week before Thanksgiving, 2024. The car was towed from the scene and we never saw it again. In May of 25 we started receiving traffic camera fines for the plate number, all of which are in and...

Stay with 50:1. I had a couple of the 100:1 vintage, they are exactly the same as the prior and following years which specified 50:1. I was never sold on it and always run at 50:1. As Jode said, it was an attempt to satisfy EPA, and claim better oil economy to the consumer. Don't do it.

Carl, I agree the 4 strokes are pretty reliable and I like the better fuel economy. There are two things that keep me on the 2 stroke bandwagon...weight and easier cold weather starting. If those two issues can be resolved, I'm all in. As for quiet, I couldn't agree more after having a surface...

I've been looking at these for a couple of years. I researched them a bit, there are knockoffs of Yamahas, and I think both Mercury and OMC. There's quite a variety available at relatively small money if you're willing to take a chance. Reviews are all over the place quality-wise, but it seems...

Most dog owners love their dog, but like most things, there is a cross section of loving pet owners who are imbeciles. It's a shame their dog has to suffer the owners stupidity.

I've been thinking about how to discuss this further, and I could go on forever. I'll keep it relatively short to avoid being a serious troll. The entire subject of restricting hunters vs guides babysitting shooters is the prioritization of commercial interests over individual interests. This...

My thinking is to use screws, all pre-drilled and countersunk. I wouldn't want to pound nails on an older boat for fear of cracking a rib, or hitting an old nail hole and getting no bite. I like bronze for the history, but stainless is a fraction of the price and not so likely to get buggered.

That's a stout effort! I always enjoy your doodles. Thanks for keeping it going.

That confirms much of what we discussed regarding how they came to enact the regulations. Thanks for posting.

What Henry said. If you decrease the pressure more than 10%-15% below maximum you can expect accelerated tire wear with more likelihood of a flat. Small tires generally need higher pressure to retain an efficient shape, i.e. not running with a flat spot and bulging sidewalls. Follow the...
